Such a statue would have a higher center of gravity than a human body,
but there is no reason it couldn't stand on it's own if properly
constructed.

What makes you think that it couldn't?

It certainly won't be as stable as a living human since there is no
sensor and control system, i.e. sense of balance and muscles, to
counteract any upset force.
